Design for a Better Philippines

The UXPH Conference was a suuuuper well organized and it was overall a great experience. Workshops are still so much more beneficial than just a general conference.

The talk was very informative, impactful and covers a wide variety of fields. Very relatable to everyone engaged in the workfield, or even among students like us who envisions to be active participants in creating a more design-driven community of this and future generation's workforce.

I love the UXPH team itself!! I just feel the teamwork and cooperation being so alive that even though the last days were getting hectic, I get encouraged from my fellow volunteers' energy! Also everyone is approachable so things get done right away :)

I like how the speakers gave detailed insights about the different roles that make up a design team (especially the UXR role!). It gave more structure to my current knowledge as I'm a newbie in the UX industry. I'm in my 5th month working as a product designer in a startup (career shifter also) and doing both research and design has been very overwhelming, so I'm really looking for direction. I'd love to join more forums with UXPH!

Becoming a volunteer in UXPH was one of the best decisions that I made. UXPH gave me a lot of learning opportunities and resources that can be helpful in my future career. The leads, advisors, and other volunteers are very hands-on in sharing their knowledge with us. Overall, I am thankful in being part of this community! :D

One important thing that I learned from this year's UXPH event, is that in order for a UX Designer to be effective, empathy should be a driving factor to your decision-making process, and having empathy means breaking your own mental model, so you should be much more open to every social and cultural possibilities of uniqueness, and be an effective advocate of change.
